Flynas announces Tadawul IPO:<\/strong> Budget carrier Flynas Company is taking a 30% stake to Tadawul\u2019s main market, according to a prospectus (pdf)<\/a>. The issuance will see a combination of issuing new shares and selling existing shares.<\/p>\n

Where will the money go? <\/strong>Proceeds from 17.43 mn newly issued shares will go to the company for expanding its fleet and network. Meanwhile, proceeds from selling 33.83 mn existing shares will go to selling shareholders and partially fund the employee incentive program. Offering expenses, estimated at SAR 100 mn, will be deducted from the proceeds. <\/p>\n

The details: <\/strong>Some 51.26 mn ordinary shares will be up for grabs in the offering open to institutional investors, with a 20% clawback good for some 10.5 mn shares for retail investors provided there is sufficient demand.<\/p>\n

Books open soon:<\/strong> The airline is set to announce the price range by 12 May, in tandem with opening the orderbook for institutional investors which will run through 18 May. Retail investors subscriptions are set to open on 18 May, with final allocation planned for 3 June.<\/p>\n

Post-IPO structure: <\/strong>Flynas\u2019 three substantial shareholders \u2014 National Flight Services Company, Kingdom Holding Company, and Nasser Ibrahim Rashid Al Rashid \u2014 will retain majority ownership, holding a combined 62.84% stake post-offering, down from 84.91%. Shares of substantial shareholders will be subject to a six-month lock-up period from the first day of trading.<\/p>\n

A snapshot of earnings:<\/strong> Flynas reported a net income of SAR 492.6 mn for the first nine months of 2024, while revenue reached SAR 5.9 bn. Dividend distributions are currently restricted under terms of a loan agreement with the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF) until the loan is repaid.<\/p>\n

Flynas is set to be the first airline in the region to go public in almost two decades<\/strong>, and the third regional airline<\/a> to ever go public after UAE\u2019s Air Arabia and Kuwait\u2019s Jazeera Airways IPOs in the 2000s. The company received approval from the Kingdom\u2019s Capital Market Authority (CMA) in<\/a>March<\/a> to proceed with the IPO, having initially planned to make its market debut last year.<\/p>\n
